My trip to London may have been scheduled around Salute 2018, but I had trips planned out for every day of my stay. I am the boring historical player in the group and I was a history teacher for a while, so of course I went in search of old things to see. So please follow along for a break from our regularly scheduled gaming news as I explore some actual history... I promise to at least try connecting it to gaming!

Awesome! What a spectacular collection and great to see so many preserved indoors. Places like Cantigny and Russel Military Museum are great to visit, but most of their stuff is outdoors year round and unlikely to ever be operable or "museum quality" again.

It really was a pain to get to but is so worth it. The collection they have is amazing and in so many cases they have the only example left in the world. Although most of the Tigers were only there on loan and the Russians haven't coughed up their Maus yet. They also do a number of special event days where you get to see the historic vehicles running. I wish I could have seen that but they tend to sell out for those days.
